‘He’s a player who made me a better player,’ Jannik Sinner admits to Daniil Medvedev’s influence on his career as he edges out the Russian in Miami
Jannik Sinner destroyed Daniil Medvedev in a one-sided Miami Open semifinal. In what was a rematch of the 2024 Australian Open final, the Italian took just an hour to knock out the defending champion in straight sets 6-1, 6-2.
Sinner has now won five matches on the trot against the Russian. But just 11 months ago, Medvedev used to have a stunning 6-0 head-to-head record against the Italian. So when the second seed was asked about what he did to challenge the Russian and defeat him like this, Sinner said that Medvedev has only made him a better player.
